1 Open-ended questions

Open-ended questions are questions that invite more than a yes or no answer and can help you gain insight into what motivates, inspires, or challenges the coachee. Examples of open-ended questions include: "What does your leadership vision look like?," "How do you feel about your current situation?," "What are some of the obstacles or difficulties you are facing?," and "How are you coping with them?" Additionally, open-ended questions can help you identify the opportunities or possibilities the coachee sees, as well as the actions or steps they can take to move forward.

What have I done today to make me feel proud? What are the 'do-overs' I would like? Open-ended questions can also be reflective and challenging at the same time. If a person is going to have an honest go at learning what barriers they are experiencing, it is important to ask the tough questions and even more important to be honest when you are answering them.

2 Reflective questions

Reflective questions are an effective tool for helping the coachee to deepen their awareness, check their understanding, and confirm or correct their assumptions. These questions can identify any gaps, inconsistencies, or contradictions in the coachee's vision, as well as any underlying beliefs, values, or emotions that may affect their behavior. Examples of reflective questions include: 'What does becoming a more influential leader mean to you?', 'How does the lack of support from your peers impact your vision?', 'How do you decide which ideas to pursue?', 'How do you balance your confidence and doubts about your vision?', and 'How do you leverage your strengths to address your gaps?'.

Reflection is a great tool to learn from, as long as the person stays away from the 'blame game' when thinking about the answer. Have you honestly identified your gaps? I realize that is a yes or no question on the surface, however, I can hear in my own head..."well, blah blah blah..." reflect to learn forward, not to live backwards.

3 Challenging questions

Challenging questions can help a coachee think critically, creatively, or differently about their leadership vision. These questions can test assumptions, explore alternative scenarios, or generate new insights. They can also help identify any blind spots, biases, or barriers that may limit the vision, as well as any opportunities, resources, or solutions that may expand it. Examples of challenging questions include: 'How do you know that your vision is realistic and achievable?', 'What are some of the assumptions or beliefs that underpin your vision?', 'How would your vision change if you faced a different situation or context?', 'What are some of the risks or trade-offs involved in pursuing your vision?', and 'What are some of the benefits or outcomes of achieving your vision?'

4 Appreciative questions

Appreciative questions are an essential tool to help the coachee recognize their strengths, successes, and potentials, as well as the contributions and support of others. These questions can identify sources of motivation, inspiration, or confidence that may enhance the coachee's vision, as well as any feedback, recognition, or reward that may sustain it. For example, you could ask the coachee about their proudest accomplishments in relation to their vision, their strengths and talents that contribute to it, the values or passions that drive it, the people or groups that support or influence it, and how they celebrate or acknowledge their progress or success.

It is essential to pat our back periodically for our small/big achievements. Reflecting on our past successes and moments of inspiration encourages creativity and a sense of responsibility. Appreciative questions such as What do you value most about your work? foster confidence, optimism, and growth among the team.

definitely the Question Behind the Question (The QBQ by John Miller) and every 3 years or so, I do a DISC to tell me what has changed, what hasn't, and where I am in my communication and leadership style. I believe is as much self-awareness as you can have.
